What's up party people!

I am having some problems with my Better Half's Taurus .38 Special. The trigger is a MONSTER; she has to use both index fingers to pull it, and even when she does, it only fires 50%-75% of the time.

The firing pin strikes every time, but I guess it's a light strike some of the time...

I've tried all kinds of ammo, from the cheap range ammo to defense rounds like the Hydra-Shok 129 Grain JHP and the +P Remington Golden Saber 125 Grain JHP, and it's the same result.

Also, the trigger seems to just stick every once in a while so that you have to open and spin the cylinder before it will fire again.

Anyone have a similar experience or can give any advice?

Thanks in advance!
